The Best Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Breakfast Toast
My cherry chia jam recipe is delicious as a solo spread on toast, but it’s also amazing on my current favorite breakfast toast:
- Spread a layer of your favorite peanut, tree nut, or seed butter on slices of dairy-free toast. For our household, I chose Canyon Bakehouse 7-Grain Bread. I’ve bought it several times since it is dairy-free and gluten-free (for Tony). It’s also nut-free, sesame-free, and soy-free.
- Top the nut or seed butter with a layer of my Cherry Chia Jam (recipe below).
- Slice a banana (I like ones that are firm and still a wee bit green), and place the slices over the Cherry Chia Jam.
- Sprinkle on a nutritious dairy-free granola. I used the Speedy Skillet Granola (a 5 minute recipe!) from my dairy-free (gluten-free friendly) cookbook, Eat Dairy Free: Your Essential Cookbook for Meals, Snacks & Sweets.
This cherry chia jam recipe post with breakfast toast and ebook details is sponsored by Canyon Bakehouse. But as always, the opinions are genuine and we hand pick the delicious products we support. I do buy their breads myself!
Special Diet Notes: Cherry Chia Jam + Breakfast Toast
By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, gluten-free, nut-free, peanut-free, soy-free, and vegetarian.
- 2 cups frozen dark sweet pitted cherries (see Cherry Note below)
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar (for strict vegan)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds (see Chia Note below)
- Place the cherries in a blender or food processor and pulse 3 to 5 times to break them up.
- Scrape the frozen cherries into a saucepan. Add the honey and place the pan over medium heat.
- Bring the cherries to a boil, stirring occasionally, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes. It should thicken just a bit and start to look syrupy.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and vanilla.
- Stir in the chia seeds until well coated.
- Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
Chia Note: You can easily adjust the thickness of this jam. Simply add more chia seeds if it doesn't set up enough. They will absorb moisture even if the mixture is chilled. But if you add a few too many chia seeds and it sets up too much, just add a splash of juice or water.

Chia jams are so easy and delicious. There is no excuse for not having beautiful, healthy jams all the time if you make them with chia.
